BUCKNER ORPHAN HOME.

IL is generally known that IN effort
is being made by the friends of the
Buckner Orphan Home to erect an
additional ana much-nceded building
10 meet the constantly increasing
demands upon this noble charity. TO
further this object, DR.. Buckner sug-
gests that inasmuch rs Christmas
comes on Sunday this year, that the
day be set apart in all the churches
and Sunday schools OF the State rs
"Orphans Day." and that in addition
to the usual holiday contributions OF
presents. clothing and supplies for the
orphans, a collection be taken up for
the new building, all of which VIII be
duly acknowledged and credited to
the respective churches and schools.
This is au admirable suggestion and
one that should be worked up until n
universal interest is awakened, To the
end that contributions may be secured
sufficient to make the Orphans Home
secure. Already eighty-three other
wise homeless littlo ones are being
cared for and educated and trained
up in the way they should go" at the
Home. and the number would doubt
less be increased tbreetold within the
coming year if the accommodate
tons were sufficient As Dr..
Buckner says, "this is your
family-God hath left it depend
ant on your liberality." Indeed, it
should be regarded as blessing in
disguise, for while there is an unpro-
tected child in all our broad civiliza-
ton no one should say he is childless
aud has naught to live tor--no heart
has cause to grow callous - while
such charity appeals to the CON
science. We are all busy-this is a
busy age; yet we may all find time to
bestow thought on the homeless and
helpless little ones whom God hath
left us, and render the sme' assistance
their necessities require.

Rnmantic Marriage.

Mr. Ed Bancroft, a clerk in Wa'ker's
China Hall, has for some months
looked happily forward to the con-
Summation OF matrimonial engage
ment with Miss Jennie Souter, a
charming young lady who lives on
Collin street, and who has been en-
ploved as teacher IN the East Dallas
public school. But immagine his feel
ings on learning last evening that an
other suffer for the hand of his be
trothed, Mr. Gamer on, had arrived
from Fort Wayne, Ind, aud was to be
wed last night. Bancroft did not sit
down and grieve over "what might
have been;" but he proceeded to the
county clerks office, quietly procured
d license and put in an appearance at
the home of the young lady. The re-
suit was victory for the Dallas man.
The Fort Waynite will return a sad
der and wiser man. Dallas boys are
not to be caught mapping.

Opera House Tonight.

A first.class entertainment Tor to-
night is thus spoken of by the New
York Herald:
AS brought out by the Andrews
Company, Michael StrOgoff is both a
majestic and massive representation.
Its appointments are grand and pic
turesque in chromatic detail, and
there is a peculiar fascination about
the successive scenic Accomplishments
that defy imitation. 1t is an imposing
spectacle of rude barbaric signifi-
canoe. attended with the delicate col
oring of Asiatic imagination and the
surprising richness of Mohammedan
fancy. 1t is produced without any
abatement of its original charms, and
preserves all the fascination which
characterized it throughout the varied
romantic incidents of its scenic con-
trasts.

THE Fort Worth Gazette of yester-
day says:
The opening of the Dallas fair was
an earnest OF great success for it.
This fair will be of benefit TO all
Texas. and al Texas will rejoice at the
success,
The Gazette contains daily a splen-
did report of the fair, furnished by its
regular Dallas reporter, and through
out has displayed an admirable spirit,
which is duly appreciated by the peo'
pie generally and of Dallas particu-
larly, in advertising and advancing
this grant enterprise. Indeed, almost
the entire press of the State has lent
it, aid with liberality and enthusi-
asm which the HERALD delights to
recognize and for which it most cor
daily returns its part of the thanks
due. Great is Texas-great is the
Texas press.

SPEAKING of the effort to raise
$4,000 for Grant monument in
New York City, the Charleston News
and Courier says: "A Grant Home
for the Orphans of Confederate Sol
diers" would do more to perpetuate
his memory than all of the marble
shafts and bronze figures that can be
built in century. And the News
and Courier is right. Practical well
doing is living monument; marble
and bronze are dumb mockeries.

Hence we say, that the human

incline to the opinion, based upon
observation, experience, and the
intelligent eplnion OF others who
have made the matter of our re-
sources a study, that the day is
not far distant when White Oaks
will be the acknowledged center
OF native wealth. All that is

come in the near bye and bye. So

NUMBER A.

The Republicans of Ohio have
renominated Foraker for Governor,
and tor 1t. Governor, have placed
Capt. W. G. Lyon. editor of the
paper we once had the honor of
being proprietor of, the Newark
American. The ticket Is strong
one, and the platform has the true
ring, it being unmistakably and
pronounCedly in favor of a protec
tive tariff. The following is the
bold way the Buckeye Republicans
put the question
We are in favor of protective
tariff, to secure to American
citizens the privilege Of supplying
every article which can be pro.
duced as well In the United States
as in other countries and sufficient.
ly to supply American wants
Such a tariff makes a demand for,
and gives employment to, the la
borof American citizens, and there
by aids in securing just compensa.
tion for labor.
We denounce the Ohio Demo
cratic platform OF tariff for reve-
nue only, and which demands an
indiscriminate reduction in all du-
ties on import articles, the effect of
which would be TO encourage i'm
portations, thus giving American
patronage to foreign producers and
foreign labor, rather than to our
own"

Ell PAso & NORTHEASTERN R. R

Through the courtesy of Col.
Theo. w. Heman, we are favored
with a map of the above named
K. r., as also prospectus, neatly
gotten up. both emanating from
the n. \. office of the Co.
This is the X. r. so long talked
of as the White Oaks r. R., and
as shown by the map and prospec
tus, it is proposed to run from El
Paso northeasterly through the
Territory of New Mexico in nearly
a straight line to Kansas City
The prospectus gives the following
description of the route, and coal
fields data:
Leaving Ell Paso, the line of the
Ell Paso and Northeastern Railway
will pass for about 100 miles
through magnificent and fertile
valley, between two high ranges of
mountains, grand and picturesque.
1t passes through the towns of Tu-
larosa, Three Rivers and White
Oaks in new Mexico, and at the
latter point passes into the Pecos
valley, crossing the mountain range
at an elevation OF $500 feet, and
thence running northeasterly to
the Canadian river. A reference
to the map will show that this is
the largest area Of country to-day
in the United States without rail
road facilities. There are no en-
gineering difficulties to be over
come.
The light grade of the proposed
road, it's long tangent lines, and
saving in distance, the coal. m ne
raj and lumber interests which
will be developed, are sufficient to
warrant the construction.
These advantages, in connection
with the present cheap cost Of con
struction and low operating expen.
ses (when compared with other
lines), are additional Inducements
to warrant the speedy develope-
ment of this important line and
the rich region it will traverse.
1t is proper to note again in this
connection that from it's local bus
mess 1t is selfsustaining, to say
nothing of the contributing traffic
which it's northeastern connection
will furnish.
1t is well known fact that in
all railroad enterprises, the sue
cessful ones are those that possess
on their own line the facilities for
creating revenue, and when we
AXE INTO consideration the demand
here is for coal, for railroad pur-
poses alone, to say nothing of the
,ther freight traffic in ores and
lumber, the importance OF the
White Oaks coal fields cannot be {
90 highly estimated. They are
situated directly on the line of the {
proposed FL Paso and Northeast |
IN Railroad. The coal measures
'egih 100 miles northeast of FL
'aso and continue As miles along
he route. Over 100000 tons of
GAL are now consumed per annum

A prospectus has been issued b,
the Ell Paso, White Oaks & North
eastern railroad company which il
filled with contributions or artl
cles from various persons who are
more or less familiar with the coun.
try through VIII ch the proposed
road will run. A hasty glance
over it's pages shows that very
conservative estimates have been
made as to the business that the
road will command as soon as built.
A residence of tour wears in Lin
coin Coun y which were devoted
to mining, numbering, etc., reason
ably qualities us to Judge as to the
truth of statements made in refer.
ence to the resources of that coun-
tY, and to the probable car haul that
a railroad, built through it IN any
direction, would probably have on
the start, or within a year after it's
completion, and from the time that
the coal seams were put in work
able shape. For this reason, based
on a personal knowledge Of the
country, more minute than that
possessed by any of the con-
taibutOrs to the prospectus, we do
hot hesitate to say that nearly all
of the statements made in it are
under rather than over drawn.
That made by j. j. Gordon ap-
proximates very closely to the facts
as they show at present, but the
building of the road would at once
stimulate development to such a
degree that the read would soon
transact much greater amount of
business than he estimates. The
proposed line skirts along the base
Of the Sacramento and White
mountains, running over a com
paratlvely level plain from FL Paso
10 within a short distance Of White
Oaks, then it can follow the same
plain fifty or seventy-fve miles
arther north, skirting along the
western base of the PatOs and
Iallinas mountains before strik-
ng across the rolling country to
he PecOs river, or it can be run
lirectly through the White Oaks
anon and then across, After it
caches the Pecos the company
propose to build a branch direct to
las Vegas and continue the main
inc to northeast connection with
he great trunk lines to the east.

The other day an old citizen of
Hastings, Neb., went to the depot
there to meet son, a resident of
Canada, whom he had not s en- for
years. When the train arrived,
the old gentleman was inform
ed that his son was killed in the
recent r. r. accident in Canada.
and the body was then in the bag
gage car, having been forwarded
to him. The stricken father re-
ceived the body, and tenderly bur-
led it. After the burial the old
gentleman was taken to his bed
and his life well nigh despaired of,
when in walked his son. alive and
hearty, and the father quickly re-
covered. Who was buried for him,
nobody knows, and the old man
says he doesn't care. If it be true
that the spirit hOvers over it's de-
serted casket, how the spirit of the
body so kindly buried by mistake,
must have laughed while the tune
raj ceremonies were taking place.
